PARTS CELL AND ORGANELLES 

 

1. CELL WALL: Made of a tough substance called cellulose, which supports the cell.

2. CELL MEMBRANE: Controls what substances can get into and out of the cell.

3. CYTOPLASM: Jelly-like substance, where chemical reactions happen. In plant cells there's a thin lining, whereas in animal cells most of the cell is cytoplasm. 

4. NUCLEUS: Controls what happens inside the cell. Carries genetic information.

5. NUCLEAR MEMBRANE: Delimiting two compartments inside the cell: the DNA transcription into RNA (in the core) and the RNA into protein translation (in the cytoplasm).

6. CHROMATIN: It is the set of DNA, RNA and proteins that are found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and constitutes the genome of such cells.

7. ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM: Protein and lipid synthesis.

8. RIBOSOME: Protein synthesis.

9. MITOCHONDRIA: It produces energy.

10. VACUOLE: Contains a liquid called cell sap, which keeps the cell firm.

11. CHLOROPLAST: Where photosynthesis happens – chloroplasts contain a green substance called chlorophyll.

12. GOLGI BODY: Processed, packaged and distributed proteins. It is responsible for the delivery and distribution of chemicals in the cell.

13. LYSOSOME: Digest substances that have entered the cell.

14. CENTRIOLE: Organelle is a cylindrical structure involved in cell division in multicellular organisms and causes the movement of cilia and flagella in unicellular organisms.
